Tips and Tricks
As with all baking recipes, there are a few things that will help this recipe turn out perfectly. My childhood is full of memories of my dad and I picking fresh berries. We would then come into the house and top them with vanilla ice cream. It is the definition of summer perfection. That is what I am reminded of when I make this cobbler recipe and top it with ice cream. There is something so wonderfully magical about a cobbler recipe. It is like the deliciousness of a fruit pie without rolling out the crust. You are going to fall in love with this easy recipe for blueberry cobbler. It can be made with fresh blueberries or frozen, making it a dessert that you can make all year round. This is just a brief overview of how to make this beautiful cobbler. For the full recipe with all of the measurements, see the recipe card at the bottom of the post. In a cobbler you cream together butter and sugar before combining it with a flour mixture that includes a leavener, in this case baking powder. A crisp is much simpler because you just cut flour and butter together and mix it with sugar. The two different methods result in a similar looking dessert but with very different tastes and textures.
Use room temperature butter. Room temperature butter will actually still feel cold to the touch. You should be able to easily dent it with your finger without pushing all the way through. Measure the flour correctly. I have a whole post outlining this that is linked below. The main thing to remember is that you want to scoop and level your flour rather than using a measuring cup to scoop it out of the container it is stored in. Use fresh baking powder. Baking Powder typically needs to be replaced every six months. To test how fresh yours is, you can add a little to some water. It should bubble immediately. If it doesn’t, that is a sign it needs to be replaced.
Store the leftovers (once completely cooled) in the baking dish, covered. Or you can transfer it to an airtight container. Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave or eaten cold. Eat any leftovers within 4 days of making.
